Currently, there are many ways to equip a personal plot, the ideas of landscape design are inexhaustible. But there are certain restrictions imposed, first of all, by nature itself, the amount available for cultivating the land and the financial possibilities of homeowners.

In this publication, we suggest you familiarize yourself with the landscape design project of one private house. Perhaps this sophisticated, thought out to the smallest and most elegant approach to organizing a personal plot will be an inspiration for your accomplishments in the field of landscape design.

Starting to develop a concept on which the design of the courtyard of a country house will be based, it is necessary, first of all, to take into account the style of the building itself. And also take note of the finishing materials that were used to process the surfaces of the facade of the mansion. And, of course, take into account the features of topography, soil composition, the presence or absence of groundwater, slopes, depressions on the site.

The presented landscape design is literally saturated with the traditions of oriental methods for arranging street space, but at the same time does not lose its own identity. Clarity of lines, rationality and practicality are in harmony with the beauty of nature.

Smooth paths made of concrete and stone slabs not only allow you to get to different parts of the yard, bypassing the perfect lawn, but also allow you to zone the space. The neighborhood of stone with water is the main ideological concept of this method of arranging land near the house.

Small ponds or vessels with water, stylized as mini-fountains are present in several areas of the courtyard. The presence of smooth pebble stones near the water is no coincidence, because such ideas come from nature itself.

Near small ponds, places for relaxation are necessarily provided. Small wooden benches in warm shades of tan look great against the background of many shades of gray.

The presence of large unprocessed stones allows the general mood of the site to merge even more with nature.

Various kinds of greens are present everywhere. Depending on the location in relation to the sun, plants can be planted even in the most shaded and damp places. It is important only to correctly determine the varieties.

It is much easier to obey nature and try to match its features, choosing one or another place depending on the landscape and soil composition. Small ponds will perfectly fit in the ditches and hollows, and the small slopes can be turned into neat alpine slides, adding stones and planting several plants.

The large pond on the site is the very embodiment of zen. The imitation of a waterfall, water lilies in the water and a bridge that seemed to freeze in the air through a mini-pond create a feeling of fabulous calm.

Stepping on such a bridge creates the feeling of walking on water. In the outdoor recreation area, equipped with two comfortable trestle beds and a small table, you can relax and sunbathe.
